EXPLORE program

Canteen’s EXPLORE program helps build the emotional skills that young people need to face the challenges cancer brings.

Young people get a feel for what a Canteen overnight program is like and start to unpack their cancer experience with the support of other young people. Everyone has the chance to discuss their emotions and explore when and how to reach out when things are tough.

This three-day program for young people aged 12-17 is based on the principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and is based on recognising resilience and focusing on strengths, interests, abilities, knowledge and capacities.
